JAMES W. SNEDEKER, OF

lb all whom it may concern:

-Be it known that 1, JAMES W. SNEDEKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Adrian, in the county of Lenawee and State '5 of Michi an, have invented a new and useful Wire-Fa ric Machine, of which the following is a specification.

iMyl; invention relates particularly to .ma-

chine's'for making wire fence having staywires connected with the strand-wires or the major portion of them by means of staples.

My primary objectis to provide a thoroughly practicable machine of this character havin greater capacity than has heretofore 1 5 been. eveloped in machines of this type.

"'-.The invention is illustrated in its referred rawings,

bodiment in theaccompanying wh m- I v Figure 1 is a view of the left side (facing zo witli ithe machine) of my improved fenceloom; Fig. 2, a right side view of the same;

' plan view of-the same; Figs. 4, 4 alined sections taken as indicated at line-4 of Fig. 3, the ortion of the machine shown in each of sai fi 'res corresponding withthe portion indicate by the correspondiii'gl -numbered bracket on Fig. 2; Fig. 5, Sheet'4', a detailed sectional view taken as p indicated at line 5 of Fig. 14; Fig. 6, a broken 0 plan view showing a portion of the mechan- .1sm for measuring the strand-wires as they are fed into the machine; Fi 7, an enlarged broken section taken as in icated at line 7 of Fig. 4" and showing a detail of the measur- 3 5 ing-drum; Fig. 8, a similar section showing a 1 di erent position of the parts; Fig. 9, a section taken as indicated at line 9 of Fig. 8; Fig. 10, a perspective view of a clamping member employed in connection with the measuring-drum; Fig. 11, an enlarged broken section taken asindicated at line 11 of Fig. 4, showing details of the take-up mechanism; Fig. 12, a section taken as indicated atline 12 of Fig. 11; Fig. 13, a section taken as indi- 3 5 ca'ted at line 13 of Fig; 11; Fig. 14, a section taken as indicated at line 14 of Fig. 12; Fig. 15', a similar section showing the of the take-up mechanism in-colla" se Fig."16,"a-broken' view of alfii 5o wheel employed in connecti -:uP'me h p Ij Y marl-ma k-zzwa dldatedat UNITED STATES PATENT ADRIAN, WOVEN WIRE FENCE COMPANY, OF ADRIAN, MlCHlGAN, A COR- WIRE-FABRIQ MACHINE- I Specification of Letters Patent.
